As the New Zealand government lifted restrictions after announcing that it had eliminated Covid-19 on Monday, a video of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confessing to doing a "little dance" on hearing the news has gone viral on social media. During a press conference in Wellington, Ardern confirmed that there were zero active coronavirus cases in the country. "Today there are no active cases in New Zealand. We have tested over 40,000 people for Covid-19 in the past 17 days and none have tested positive," Ardern said during the press conference. When the 39-year-old was asked about her immediate reaction, Ardern said she had done a "little dance", surprising her two-year-old daughter Neve. "She was caught a little by surprise and she joined it having absolutely no idea why I was dancing around the lounge," Reuters quoted Ardern as saying.
